Massinger, Philip, 1583-1640 -- Criticism and interpretation
" 103: resolve s added
II., 2, 103: lords of her, like acres
" 174: fierce dame n inserted before “m.”
dame=dam
" 255: solder soldier
" 260: tosses trifles
Here it will be noted that two good emendations are made—I., 1, 53 and
II., 2, 103. On the other hand, no notes are made on the last three acts:
such a misprint as “ijgobobs” in V., 3, 161 escaping comment.
_The Fatal Dowry_

V., 3, 47: flights s deleted
" 85: niggle iuggle
" 111: I fever if ever
" 190: my grace on all cancelled
The corrections in this play are nearly all good: thus the metre is
restored at I., 2, 178, and III., 2, 93, and improved in III., 4, 132. V.,
3, 85 is an excellent emendation. On the other hand, I do not think the
author would have made such a stupid mistake as the one found at IV., 1,
14, for Chrysapius is there addressing the Empress, about Pulcheria.
_The Maid of Honour_
Nil.
